Just buy a second cheap video card. While gaming you will still have the full power of your 8800GTS on the monitor connected to the 8800GTS. And if you get a cheap 8000 series card, or 9000 series, you can use the second card for dedicated PhysX in games .

Can a dedicated PhysX Nvidia cards display to a monitor? (just asking because I know the original PhysX cards didn't even have a display port on them)

There's span too, which does have the start menu bar on the second display so long as the monitor is told to be on the left or right; however, I'm pretty sure the resolutions have to be the same otherwise it does some whacky zooming.

But yeah, if I were you, I'd get a second 8800 GTS. That way you can run up to four monitors with unique displays and have the option to do SLI if you decide extra monitors isn't for you. It's win-win.

I'm not 100% certain on this but I think SLI only supports one video out.

Well I currently have 2 monitors, but the way I use this comp [TV, stereo, recording TV, gaming, mini recording studio (MIDI and stuff), school], I like having lots of workspace, I find I often don't have enough on my two
